Introduction; Installing And Configuring The Winmcsi Modem-Sharing Software - Multitech RASFinder RF300E User Manual

RASFinder RF300E/RF310E User Guide

Introduction

Multi-Tech's Remote Access Server for Microsoft network users enables users to dial-out and fax-out
through your RASFINDER. Remote Access Solution software uses Multi-Tech's Communications
Services Interface (MCSI - pronounced "Mik-see"). MCSI is a software redirector which complies
with MCSI/NCSI/NASI defacto standards for software redirection.
©
The Windows version of MCSI, called WINMCSI, is supported on Windows 98/95 and Windows NT
platforms. Since WINMCSI provides data communications connectivity, it needs to be installed and
operating before your data communications application software is started.
Installing and Configuring the WINMCSI Modem-Sharing
Software
The WINMCSI modem-sharing software (included on the CD) manages access to an Asynchronous
Gateway (AG) for outbound calls. It allows Windows communications software packages that do not
support INT6B or INT14 to connect to a gateway. It also detects other compatible communications
servers (e.g., RASs) on your network and displays the resources they provide to eligible LAN users.
To install WINMCSI in Windows 98/95 or Windows NT, follow the steps below:
Note: Faxing through WINMCSI is only supported on modems using Lucent chipsets. If you are not
certain as to the type of chipset in the internal modem, contact Multi-Tech Systems Technical
Support.
1. Power on your client PC and log in to your LAN.
2. Start Windows.
3. Insert the Multi-Tech RASFinder CD into your CD-ROM drive. The RASFinder AutoRun screen
is displayed.
- Close the RASFinder AutoRun screen.
- Double-click your My Computer icon.
- Right-click the CD-ROM drive icon.
- Click Open. The wsredir folder contains two folders; one for Windows 9X operating systems
(Mcsi95) and a second folder for Windows NT operating systems (Mcsint).
4. For Windows 9X users, choose Mcsi95, double-click on Disk 1, and then click on the Setup.exe
icon.
